4.5 stars; I really liked this book! I love the silly tone it takes, like the one minor character who always seems to have what’s needed for a bad situation like happening to have a mongoose when going against snakes. Why did he suggest bringing a mongoose? In case they ran up against snakes obviously. Oh the characters are trapped in a boiling hot torture chamber? Good thing one of them has magic to make the temperature drop. There were a lot of convenient ways out of tough spots, but the book treated it ironically and the main character was like “are you kidding me!?”
Melilot, the MC, was quite likeable and progressed through a lot of personal development. We love a bisexual disaster. I enjoyed identifying all the fairy tale hints that were dropped throughout; some more obvious than others. I thought her romantic relationship progressed very sweetly, as well as her relationship with her stepmother and sisters.
Overall a very fun read, especially in a stressful time. Thanks to NetGalley for the e-arc!
